Yes, hot stone massage is contraindicated for deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The heat and pressure from the stones can potentially dislodge a blood clot, leading to serious complications such as a pulmonary embolism. It is crucial for individuals with DVT to seek medical advice and avoid treatments that could exacerbate their condition. Always consult with a healthcare professional before undergoing any massage therapy if you have DVT or similar concerns.
TED hose should be removed at least twice daily, and at night when goin gto sleep, unless contraindicated by the physician or type of treatment (such as post-surgery), in which case you should follow the direction given by your health care provider.
yes if this is massaged it can lead to thrombus detaching and causing a stroke and clots is a definite no no :) hope this helped

TED hose, or thromboembolic deterrent stockings, are used in diabetics to promote blood circulation and reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). When using TED hose, it's important to select the appropriate size and compression level, ensuring a snug fit without being overly tight. Patients should be educated on proper application techniques and the importance of wearing them consistently, especially during prolonged periods of immobility. Additionally, regular monitoring of skin integrity is crucial to prevent complications, given the potential for reduced sensation in diabetic patients.
Ted hose, or thromboembolic deterrent hose, are specialized compression stockings designed to promote blood circulation in the legs and reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism. They apply graduated pressure, being tighter at the ankle and gradually loosening up the leg, which helps prevent blood clots, especially during prolonged periods of immobility, such as after surgery or long flights. Additionally, they can alleviate symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency and improve overall leg comfort.
A TED hose, often referred to as an anti-embolism stocking, is a densely woven high compression non-gradient (compression distribution is the same from foot and ankle to the top of the hose) stocking that comes in both closed and open-toe (open-toe allows for checking the patients pulse) that is thigh-high in length and is typically administered to a post-surgical patient who is non-ambulatory (unable to get up and move around). TED hose is usually worn as a pair for a short duration (during recovery) to promote optimum blood flow for the prevention of chronic swelling, blood clots or deep venous thrombosis (DVT). A TED hose is also available in knee-thigh length that can be worn by non-patients, e.g., diabetics, who suffer with poor leg circulation. The acronym T.E.D. stands for Thrombo Embolic Deterrent. It is a trademark brand name owned by the Kendall Company.

They are locally contraindicated if not severe and systemically contraindicated if they are severe.
TED hose are anti-embolism stockings designed to prevent blood clots, typically used in hospitals. Support hose, or compression stockings, provide graduated pressure to promote circulation and reduce swelling in the legs, commonly used for conditions like varicose veins or to prevent deep vein thrombosis during travel.
Many TED (Thrombo-Embolic Deterrent) hose are made from elastic materials that may include latex, but there are also latex-free options available. It's important for individuals with latex allergies to specifically look for latex-free TED hose to avoid allergic reactions. Always check the product labeling or consult with a healthcare provider for recommendations.
TED hose are used to apply compression to the lower extremities to reduce swelling aka edema aka third spacing cause by poor VENOUS return circulation in the lower extremities. TED hose should be custom fit for the best results. TED Hose should never be allowed to roll down and create pressure behind the knee (popliteal space) or around the calf causing constriction instead of compression. This creates a 'rubber band effect" and can lead to the formation of blood clots or constrictive injury TED hose or any kind of compression should NEVER be used for people with ARTERIAL Insufficiency, or with Arterial Ulcers on the lower extremities.
